I know the feeling. I let a 1979 CBX go. Though I never bonded with that 
beast, I do miss it.

That regret prompts me keep the one bike I do have from motorcycling's 
Agricultural Implement Age--a 1984 BMW R100RS Last Edition. By today's 
standards, it does nothing well. But, it has the sexiest, most protective 
faring ever produced. And if everyone on the planet discovered the aircooled 
boxer's therapeutic thrum, psychiatrists would be soon be probing clients' 
desires with "Want fries with that?"
